FOH means front of house, BOH is back of house, and HOH is head of house.
So I'm HoH twice a week, and BoH the rest of the time. BOH hates the FOH. I'm going to go through all of the foh positions and describe to you why we hate them.
The Host-
The host is a failed server or someone who wants to be a server. The host doesn't know how to stagger tables...staggering tables is the only part of their job that we care about. On Saturday night these assholes will seat every single table within 1 minute of each other. This causes a flood of tickets to the kitchen at once. Last week I watched the wheel print off 22 tickets in a row. There were only like 10 servers...the host sucks.
Server-
The server is like a stupid little kid with vanity problems. They can't get tickets right, they can't describe steak temps to guests, and they will ask you for random things no matter how busy you are. Occasionally there is an awesome flirty (but not too flirty) server who doesn't suck- this person should be your friend. Fuck the rest of them. They make the same money in less hours, they are significantly less intelligent than everyone else, This causes you to hate them even more. They are usually in college, which causes them to like themselves even more. I got three people in the back who were servers and have college degrees, and they make less money than I do. Fuck servers.
Bartender-
This person needs to like you and be your friend. If your job gives out free beer- ALWAYS tip on the free beer. This will come in handy when you need to fill a growler with a more expensive beer (double ipa) and you've tipped every beer for months. It makes everyone happier. Be friends with the bartenders, give special love to this food.
Expo-
If the expo isn't your friend, you're in the wrong business.
FoH Manager-
You should rarely see this person. Usually stays as far away from BOH business as possible. The good ones anyway.
